Seoul's Soul

Chapter 4

One who bares the mark

Heavy distressed breathing could be heard as the Prince and Yunji were running,the distressed breathing was from Yunji more so,they ran deeper into the forest until they came across a clearing,very wide to say,filled with chrysanthemum.

"Seoul-ah..."Yunji all but call out,it seems her hope was once again diminished. "Where are you" Yunji said as her knees buckled and she fell to the bare ground. "Where are you,please,I can't lose you" Yunji pitifully stated as tears streamed down her cheeks,she couldn't help but break down,she just lost hope completely.

"Jubu-nim"the Prince called out to her. "Look ahead,it appears to be someone lying" the Prince caught the attention of Yunji as he stood facing toward the centre of the field. Yunji hurriedly rush toward his direction and looked ahead as well. "Oh my.."Yunji gasped. "It looks like Seoul,my Prince that's Seoul" Yunji all but said as dreadful hope began to rise again. They both ran toward the person in the field filled with chrysanthemum.

But as they got closer they were surprisingly stopped by a shocking sight,to their shock and horror,it was Seoul's unconscious body indeed,But the sight of a wild wolf around her made them put in a rigid stance;A beautiful male wolf with pure white fur and some intricate streaks of black with ocean blue eyes,stood menacingly in front of Seoul's body,it is quite the size too.

"Oh my...my Prince,it's a wolf" Yunji sharply said,but got no response. The prince stared at the wolf in a somewhat fight stance. "How peculiar,you seem like a spirit" the Prince thought,as he studied the unruly wolf. "We came to take her,she belongs with us" the Prince all but confidently spoke;Is he mad talking to a wild animal.

"What are you doing my Prince?" Yunji asked the Prince as she couldn't get why he is talking to a wild animal,yet again got no response. The Prince made a step forward,but a deep growl from the wolf made him stop.The Prince took intricate steps in what looks like a fighting style. All of a sudden the wolf made a pounce at the Prince and a loud gasp could be heard from Yunji,though it was unexpected the Prince stylishly dodged the attack. "Stay far back jubu-nim" the Prince told as she stared this battle in both awe and worry.

The beautiful unruly animal made a second attack by the Prince's shoulder,yet again the Prince dodged the attack,the Prince seems delicate and quite skilled,it's so mesmerizing to watch,he is amazing and incredible at fighting it seems;ofcourse he is,he is Prince Jutsu after all.

The third attack was made by the Prince as he did some intricate moves with his hands toward the side of the beast,but to his knowing surprise the wolf dodged the attack. "Huh...you are a spirit" the Prince thought with a smirk on his delicate face. "Be careful my Prince" Yunji told the Prince as she stood worried for Seoul and the Prince.

All of a sudden the beast turned toward the direction of Yunji,and she all but lost her breath at its eyes. It seems like everything was in slow motion as both Yunji's and the Prince's hearts skipped beats. The wolf made a step forward,the Prince got ready to defend and attack,but what the beautiful beast did next left them both shocked.

The wolf is seen bowing it's head at Yunji,in all grace and regalia?. It looked toward the Prince once again in a somewhat relaxed structure,before it ran back into the forest fast. Such strange behaviour from a beast. They heard its howl just after its figure got lost within the trees.

"....I'm at a loss of words,I can't put my mind on it..it..it just bowed..as It has a knowledge not of it..I am astonished" Yunji was astounded by the action that happened mere minutes ago. "As I am...it is quite the peculiar creature" the Prince replied as he was looking at Yunji with what could be called hidden amusement.

"Seoul-ah" Yunji gasped as she got out of the trance at the sight of seoul,she made a run toward her as she knelt beside her to afraid to even touch her as she feared a worst nightmare.
